Notes
The design is less compact than in previous drawings so that the front is now five rooms (11 bays) wide with the drawing room, library, hall, breakfast and eating rooms en filade. The breakfast room is additional to the rooms shown in previous designs and the stair is on the left-hand side and not in the centre, as in earlier designs. This 'No.2' design would have been more expensive than the 'No.1' design.
